During World War II, comic book publishers had to get creative. With metal rationing in full effect, even staples became a precious commodity. To conserve materials, many Golden Age comics were printed with just one staple instead of the usual two! Collectors today often find these war-era books with pages hanging loose or detached, but don’t be too quick to assume damage—that single staple was always part of the original design! Have you ever come across a one-staple Golden Age comic in your collection? Cool bit of comic book history. I haven’t personally come across a one staple Golden Age comic. I am glad CGC don't class it as a defect otherwise that could get tricky.Golden Age Comics & The One-Staple Secret!
